I wish I could show you the video of it... I would have to say that heat was not needed in this case. The film was thin and viscous. The above photos of the white fluff that is this after going up and down in the vac for 3 days. If there is butane its certainly under the olfactory threshold. I can take some microscope pics to see a greater detail. Dabbing the gold flakes I got no butane odor either. Normally Id go on with winterizing but I dont want to alter the terpene profile I got going on with this one. Its ridiculously tasty. Ill see if I can get this video uploaded to youtube. Maybe Sensi Wolf will step in and scold me on this one, in which case I will winterize in the name of cleanliness and lab data....

Question for all you extract elders.....
What kind of taste would you describe the winterized oil as having, if it had a taste at all.
I just tried some winterized oil/wax and noticed that there was a "vaporized" taste. I was not expecting much taste at all, and its possible that it hadn't been fully purged, or there was some wax residue that got heated in the rig..
Still there was a generic vaporized taste.
When you say two column run are you talking about doing a run, pulling to vacuum, remove and replace the column, *not collecting any oil out of the pot* and doing another run, then scrape up all the oil?? I just met someone who went to a class and they said that was what they were shown there. Does this have any effect on the quality being re-soaked over and over in butane?? He said i should do like 4 runs, reloading the column and have the oil just build up. Ive never tried this and am waiting on some new material to come in to give it a shot, figured id see if this guy was correct or maybe misheard something before i do 4 runs and open to pot up to a pile of horrible looking waxy weird oil lol. Most of my runs dont get winterized as i try to stick to running high quality trim or nugs
GW noticed some stress cracks in my vac lid that I had been ignoring... So I made a new one, a bit cleaner this round. 8x8"

Broke down an oz of gold flakes into a couple cap fulls of 190 proof for purging...
